p- 26. Leaves hoary, pinnatifid ; petals oblong ; siliques toru- 
lose, furnished at the top with two acute horizontally spreading 
spines, which are one-half longer than the bifid stigma. Perhaps

Fascicled-leaved Stock. 
Cult. In order to procure fine double Stock-Gilliflowers, 
Brompton and Queen-stocks, is to make choice of such single 
flowering plants as grow near many double ones, for it has been 
observed that seed saved from plants growing among double 
kinds have produced a much greater number of double flowering
